What's the cost of a drive from Edinburgh to Medway?

The journey, powered by petrol, sets you back £74.2. In this calculation, we're crunching numbers based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's thirst of 37.5 miles per gallon. If you're carpooling with a buddy, that's £37.1 each (£74.2 divided by 2). With a trio onboard, it drops to around £24.73 a head (£74.2 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's a mere £18.55 per person (£74.2 divided by 4).

Let's dig into the math behind it. The fuel expenditure hinges on the distance covered and the car's efficiency. For this particular jaunt, you're looking at guzzling down roughly 51.9 liters of fuel. Crunching the numbers, that's where the £74.2 total comes from for the trip from Edinburgh to Medway.
 

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Medway.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 46.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 23.45 £ (46.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.63 £ (46.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.73 £ (46.9/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
